Conception

Designing a suitable system is only undertaken after an exact analysis of the production and storage conditions, the transport routes, and the wishes and requirements of the customer.

In times of industry 4.0 and Toyota Production System or Lean Management, automotive supply companies as well as other branches of the industry should focus on optimising the packaging as a whole, since 5 to 6 digit annual savings in current costs can be achieved in this area.
